My AM<---{Amazing Machine}----| Progress Thread

I Always had an eye for the acura tl's but when the third gen hit the market I was sold, granted I never bought one until 2012 but It better Late than never.

^ This was a couple of days after I bought it, As you can see the first mod I Performed was Tinting my windows to 15%

Second Mod was L.E.D interior lights, The third mod was clearing my headlights

I know the color. I posted wrong Color contraction oops my bad]

Random pic of the front

Changed the leds in front fender lights to hyper white

I then proceeded to add the aspec kit one night after I got off work

And this is where I am at now, Wheels and springs sitting in my laundry room, I will Mount My tires tomorrow at work along with installing my springs and camber kit. I cant wait

You know you can add all the pictures in one post right? Just go to photobucket or any free image hosting site and you can post them right to this page instead of having them as thumbnails. Looks good though and you're off to a great start. Did you clear the headlights yourself?

[QUOTE=zachlone;14489207]in for some pics with the S tech springs! and a quick review on your thoughts, im torn between the Stechs and H&R sport springs[/Q


I have a pic that i snapped with the springs on with my factorys that i took before i put the wheels on. i can post that and as far as the ride quality the s techs ride better than i expected the drop was 1.2 and they still are not in there settled phase. with the xxr wrapped in a 225/40/18 it has little to no wheel gap

Hot off the alignment Rack

Well I Finally Got around to posting pics after my s-techs settled and finally were able to throw the xxrs on permanently. Also added my custom OEM Tl Base center caps to improve the rim and keep the Factory Edge. Specs are 18x8.75 +20 all the way around wrapped with a 225/40/18. I also mounted my factory tpms sensors so if anyone wants to know if it can be done it can with out bands.
